Emacs for literature
I also use writeroom because I prefer its simplicity, but worth mentioning that olivetti is the more popular writing mode.

Wanted: A nice looking recent file dialog
There are nice looking distraction-free setups with https://github.com/joostkremers/writeroom-mode or https://github.com/rnkn/olivetti or https://github.com/joaotavora/darkroom or https://github.com/rougier/nano-emacs

Assistance with Writing fiction with Emacs
Don't have a specific tutorial except to suggest setting org-mode to use olivetti and a nice variable pitch font for writing prose. You might also like the poet theme.

Looking for evil-mode resources for non vim users emacs beginners
If you want to try out some third-party packages in the beginning, I think the most "bang-for-your-buck" you'll get is with Avy. Also, expand-region. And specifically for writing: olivetti-mode, flyspell, dictionary, and Nicolas Rougier's Nano and Elegant Emacs setups.

Is GNU Aspell the best spell checker for emacs on macOS?
Language Tool does this, I believe, but I think it's modal rather than on-the-fly.
-
Grammar auto-correction package?
Perhaps something like https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-langtool which you can self host. Or if you don't mind SaaS - there's grammarly integration for emacs too.

Language Tool – open-source Grammarly Alternative
There’s already Emacs package, but it works only with offline version.
https://github.com/mhayashi1120/Emacs-langtool
Now that I checked, looks like there’s another package, but I didn’t t try it.

Grammar checker for scientific writing
Check out textidote too. It's languagetool understanding \LaTeX syntax, and you can set it for flycheck-checker. Emacs-langtool coupled with langtool-ignore-fonts is also good for \LaTeX documents. You may want to configure them to disable a few rules to reduce false positives.

Writers, what are your favorite underrated packages?
Didn't see it so far: LanguageTool integration in Emacs. It really helps me a lot, as I'm a making lot of language errors. LanguageTool requires Java (standalone app is a Jar file), could start is a bit long, but then it's really easy to use and for me feedback is better integrated in Emacs than for example in LibreOffice.
